NEW RUMNG INCREASES POWER OF SEC NOW IT CAN BLACKLIST ACCOUNTANTS a LAWYERS, ENGINEERS, LOBBYISTS ALSO INCLUDED THIS TANTAMOUNT TO LIFE-AND-DEATII RULE mieuiHr.-mK Julv 3. A lew days ago. the securities and ex change commission took a porten Uoub but little noticed step a step which interestingly Illuminates the whole process o( modern govern ment. In brief, the commission assumed a We and death Jurisdiction, In so lar as their business affairs are concerned, over all persons and firms practicing before It. Formerly, the commission merely admitted lawyers and agents to Its bar. Now all the crowding attorneys, account ants, engineers, lobbyists and tjie like, who awarm through the cor ridors of every government agency, may lose then- SEC Income tomor row by a vote of the commission. It sounds simple enough. But, on closer Inspection, several cir cumstances of the commission order are seen to be very significant. In the first place. It may be a coincidence that the order was Is sued on the very day that a trial examiner advisory report bitterly erltlclilng the great accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse for allege edly Improper practice, was also given to the public. 'v But the fact Is that the new order la aimed squarely at the cert ified accountants, and was promul gated at the Insistence of Commis sioner Jerome N. Fran, who has a bee In his bonnet about the business practices of accounting and engineering firms. The order's pur pose it to Insure that balance sheets drswn up to show compliance with the truth in securities laws shall be dependable and accurate. At such, It cannot be criticized. Indeed, it adoption was inevitable, sooner or later. But the order's meaning la far larger than might be suspected. Certified accounting la a large and .Hn.n.wiii. hnainesM. dailv Influenc ing commercial habits, aupportlng large numbers or people, ana prv Mino exreerilnfflv handsome In comes for the owners of the small number of domtnant firms. mthai4n it h seldom been sub Jected to publlo criticism, and cerT talnly. when the securities laws m written, neither the members of congress who voted for them, nor the accountants who watcned mem past without a murmur reauzea that they Included detailed regula tion of the accounting business. Yet that Is precisely what has hap pened. - - , The power of a government agency to do what the SEC has done has never been tested . In the court and It may not be upheld, but If It ts. the 8EC has unquestionably , exienoeo its power to hibac iuico for all accountants. In every large rpAitntlnir firm, the nrerjaratlon of statements for the SEC Is a good part or tne wora. u me okaj onus a particular firm, that firm Inevit ably loses a big percentage of Its business. More than that, however. It Is publicly blacklisted. "Unethical and Improper professional conduct" Is among tne grounas namra oy we SEC for banning firms and person practicing before It. And what ac counting firm could hope to obtain much respectable business If such a label were pinned on it by one of the most Influential agencies of the government? A has been remarked, the SEC's order waa not only 'Justifiable but Inevitable, given the task the SEC has to perform. The commission ts one of the most efficiently operated agencies of the government. Since It has made peace with the New York stock exchange. Its policy on every front has been a firm mod eration. Now even the Wall Streeters and managers of utilities holding companies, who once feared and hated It most, hold the commission In considerable respect. It cannot be accused of grasping for unnec sary power. f And that, really. Is the lesson of the SEC'a new order. Power breeds power, surely and rapidly. Once the government assumes the duty of making any rules In a given field. It must end by making all the rules. The short history of the SEC am ply demonstrates this truth. If It ha not already been proved by (Continued on Ptwr Sli ) Two Burn tilth Boat PRINCE RUPERT." B.C.. July 3. i Canadian Press) Olacoroo C.

Banks testified that he had been advised by Attorney Roblson and others not to mention Rosser and that he la the "fall guy" In the case.

Cecil Moore and John Newlands. both awaiting sentence for actually start ing the fire, described the arson Job. Moore said Banks paid him, New- lands and Ernest "Red" Carson $105 for doing it and recited In a low voice that their efforts to get more money failed.
